Was referring more to those who violated the embargo itself. Somehow it doesn't surprise me that Sony would ask for product back, even though they probably have some of the largest margins in the game to be able to absorb not profiting from a few review samples.
Christmas in June...The review queue is loaded again!
It's about time these Status showed up...
WOW! I had some amount of despair for you on these, thinking you would never get them. Gratz (on the new E1DA also)!The review queue is loaded again!

One step closer to a mobile "test bench" of sorts. Those E1DA units have to be one of the most insane values in the portable sub-$100 DAC/amp market. Really hope Ivan eventually takes a crack at TWS amplification. Would completely turn the market on its head if he could.
Yeah, at only $59 for that E1DA V2, if I were in the market for a new DAC, I would give it a shot! But, since we have you to be the guinea pig.........
Busted by Amazon along with Aukey for posting fake reviews etc. Search for mpow amazon ban. Happened around May 11.
WOW! They had the gaul to think they could get away with that with all the scrutiny on Amazon over this very thing? They must not have gotten the memo...
Case is a mess, have to grab the phones by the tips. Easier to get them in. I got used to it. Looking forward to your take.I do my best to expect nothing from every pair that shows up to my door now. It's tough, but really helps stave off the disappointment
I was all prepared to come in with initial impressions of the Between Pro, but there's no way I'm ready for that yet. I find a lot of things about this pair interesting. Some of them are interesting in a good way, a couple not so much. I'll keep you posted. For now, here's another glamour shot:
Case is pretty awkward, FYI. There's no real markings to reference, so hopefully you can recognize how to line the buds up when inserting them into the case. Charging plug is on the bottom as well, which I'm not the biggest fan of. Can't complain for too much at the current price point, though. If they cheap out a little on the case to make sure more goes into the drivers/tuning, that's fine by me.
Have you tried the bl03 or bl01 with the TRN bt3s? Been a great combo for me.
Based off my experience with the 9038D alone, they're a blind buy recommendation. Without question. If you want the more portable one, go 9038. Want something beefy enough to power HD600s? Get the PowerDAC.Yeah, at only $59 for that E1DA V2, if I were in the market for a new DAC, I would give it a shot! But, since we have you to be the guinea pig.........
Glad it's not just me. I've been trying to pinch the outside end and have had horrible luck.
No, tempted. But I am all good on TW in-ears.
That Mini looks pretty cute. With the right adapter, could make for a really stealth TWS. Haven't gotten on the BLON train, though. Barely survived the KZ rabbit-hole. Don't know if I can go through that again.
My incoherent brain must be a perfect match! Although I do like the “enlightened consumer” tag!Based off my experience with the 9038D alone, they're a blind buy recommendation. Without question.

But I'll run it through its paces for ya sometime this weekend

They're very comfortable, though. Any negative marks I have about the sound signature right now don't fully take into account their asking price, so I'm doing what I can to stay fair. These lean closer to the "enlightened consumer" end of the sound signature for me; definite emphasis on lower bass and spatial cues in the upper midrange, but not altogether coherent in between. Midrange detail definitely belies the amount of bass energy, though, and that's a pretty good thing.
The mini is arguably the most comfortable in-ear I’ve ever tried. Have them in now. Carla Bruni sounds pretty sweet.
